We had the opportunity to learn about this vital piece of legislation and discuss what it means with Congresswoman Alma S. Adams, Ph.D., Representative of the NC 12th District, and Congressman Jeff Jackson, Representative of the NC 14th District. We also heard from Barbara Bleiweis, Mecklenburg Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor, and farmers Cherie & Wisdom Czar of Deep Roots CPS Farm.
